…Said no one ever that actually uses an iPhone. 16:9 content doesn’t stretch anywhere near that width. Even the widest cinema formats don’t touch it. And if for whatever reason you zoomed wayyyyy in to fill the screen (you would never do this), your brain tunes it out instantaneously.

Yea, that's obvious, it's just frustrating because if it was available I'd buy a 13 inch iPad with Mac os in a second... I wouldn't even care how expensive it is. It would instantly become my primary laptop. I tablet mode for consumption and note taking... Mac is for real work it would be prefect.

In retrospect, I guess I should've just gone with this.

Androids are so far ahead of iPhones in terms of screen tech.

I have a Charge 4 and it was an upgrade from a Charge 3. It will be my last fitbit since it freezes once a week and I need to reboot it in order to use it.
This just confirms that Fitbit’s quality control has not improved

This report was from March 2022, why the hell is it just now being posted?

It’s “smaller” but it cuts into videos which the notch doesn’t do. It’s lower on the screen than the notch so it interrupts more content than the notch.

Yeah, but how many of them are porn?

Agreed. Canadian here. I would have specified $CDN cause USD is the default.

For the fingerprint reader I just grab my phone. I don't do anything extra either. And it doesn't have to be pointed at me to unlock

13 Pro Max here.
I’m not interested in the Dynamic Island.
It’s a solution in search of a problem. Then handed over to the Apple Megamarketing Department so that they could squeeze every drop of sweet money out of those lines of code.
Notch is much less noticeable in landscape. I imagine the Dynamic Island notifications in landscape would just take up more space (or be locked in portrait orientation) and annoy the crap out of me.

Your video players are supposed to be smart enough to have an option to extend just to beginning of them

Face ID is instant though. Plus you don’t have to do anything for it, so id say it’s more convenient.

Apple has kept the iPad limited because they want people to buy both a Mac and an iPad, but with iPad sales declining and Mac sales going up it seems to me they miscalculated. A lot of people were buying iPads despite their limitations because of their speed, battery life, light weight, and great thermals compared to a traditional laptop. But M1 Macbooks basically negated those advantages.

Careful. Reddit is filled with FaceID fanboys that will defend it to the grave. I’ve gotten downvoted to hell for criticizing it.
I just wish Apple would give us both. I routinely wear a headset and sunglasses at work and faceid refuses to work. At night/morning time, my double chin is so prominent, faceid refuses to work. But my finger would work 95% of the time
